Summary
Research on bullying began relatively later in China than in many western nations, and consequently, Chinese bullying intervention programs have been limited. This chapter reports on a five-week intervention program with an action research method in a primary school in Jinan. This represented the first attempt at bullying-intervention in mainland China. The goals of the program were to help the participating school reduce the incidence of bullying and build a more respectful, cooperative, helpful and safe classroom and school atmosphere; and to explore practical intervention strategies to tackle school bullying problems that can be generalized into Chinese primary and junior high schools. A signifiacant reduction was observed both in the incidence (proportion of victims) and extent of the severity (frequency) of victimization among the students of the experimental group both on the way to school and on the way home. Future researchers should consider the assessment of the long term effect of such intervention programs.
